Police quizzing a 43-year-old man after an off-duty officer was shot have been given more time for questioning. Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell remains critically ill after the attack in Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland, on Wednesday when he was shot in front of his young son.
He was targeted at a sports centre in Omagh where he coaches a youth football team and police believe the two gunmen involved fired multiple shots. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said they believe the attack was terrorist-related, describing the New IRA as their primary line of inquiry.
There were gatherings in Beragh and Omagh on Saturday in solidarity with Mr Caldwell and his family. Six men, aged 22, 38, 43, 45, 47 and 71 years, have been arrested in Co Tyrone in recent days in the attempted murder investigation.
